Do people really get viruses with limewire.com?

Two wrongs don't make a right, that's true. But people who steal music are such a drain on those companies that I guess they felt they had to do something--I find their tactics reprehensible. But people who steal the music are stealing not only the artists' creativity but the artists' kids' college educations among other things. I have little sympathy for the record companies (who need to get a clue about marketing and how people want their music) or the people who steal music. And it's become a very childish battle.

That's very interesting. I hadn't heard about that before. I will have to look it up and see what I can find on it. But doesn't that make them just as bad as though who download the music to start with? You know what they say about 2 wrongs?

Thank you for your response. I have no anti virus on any of my computers. I never have kept it on them because they are more of a pain than they are worth, for me anyway. I can usually easily fix any small problems that occur anyway. But I have never had anything happen because of limewire.

Yes, I do understand that you should be very careful, but I seriously have never had a problem. Maybe because I am more careful about what I put on my computer. I have never had a problem that I couldn't fix and most of the problems that I do get come in the form of emails. That doesn't even happen often.

When it comes to emails I make it known that I don't do attachments and that the person needs to copy and paste whatever it is in the body of the message if they want me to read it. I really hate it when someone sends an attachment without even an explanation of what it is.
